Medical Report

Terry had an appointment last week with the oncologist - regular check up and no new news.
Does anyone really watch these counts?  I guess I'll give them because I have them.
WBC = 2.9(L)  Norm is 4.5-11.0
RBC = 3.93(L) Norm is 4.5-5.9
HCT = 35.8(L) Norm is 41.0-53.0
Platelet = 30(L) Norm is 150-400
Ab Neutrophils = 0.8 (L) Norm is 1.8-7.8

Terry has received word from SCCA that they have found a donor / match for his transplant.  (We have known this for awhile, but have been putting it off.)  They are ready to put him on their schedule ..., but ..., he is not ready to go.  We have agreed to a consultation on the 25th and will decide for sure what to do after that meeting.

Terry would like to wait until harvest is over before going in for this transplant. If it doesn't jeopardize the transplant success rate at all, that is probably what he will choose.  I am just going along with his decision - whatever he says ... goes!  When we try to decide what the best time will be we can always come up with some great reasons why we shouldn't do it at any given time, so for me, I will just do what he wants, because so matter when he wants, it's going to be tricky for our family ..., again!


Did you know ... ?

SCCA - when we refer to it - is Seattle Cancer Care Alliance

but,

SCCA is also  Sports Car Club of America

Terry would probably much rather go there.  ;)
